Correct me if I'm wrong, But I don't believe there was a single review of the 2010 in auto format. In fact I believe every review on the 2010 had a track pack. And I think I only found 2 reviews collectively among the 05-09 which had auto trans...
Albeit this should change as it's a totally revamped auto format, so I'm sure more curious onlookers will be wanting to know how well the auto performs as well. Which thus there should be one to come sometime in the summer I'm guessing...

The autos have been getting quicker and shifting faster. I think, though I have no evidence, the times from the auto will be more repeatable and more uniform among the mags. Plus I think they'll be just as fast.

Nothing in the quarter but Ford had a eighth of a mile track setup and the Mustang really beat the Camaro auto. I saw trap speeds listed from 3 to 5 MPH faster for the Stang. This is side by side so to me thats the most telling review.

+1, I really can't wait to see the difference between manual/auto 5.0's, if there is one at all.

2011 Ford Mustang: First Drive says the used "Driving Ford legal department-mandated six-speed slushbox-equipped cars" so there are a few numbers to tide you over.

Good find. I can't believe they don't list the actual 1/8 mile time, but better than nothing!
